Redbone reaches deep into her American Indian roots to fuse African-American, English folk and modern funk in a style that defies musical categories. Her musical journey began in the mountains of Virginia, where she was raised on the rich traditions of Appalachian folk and Piedmont blues.

Today, this indie-soul diva has developed a unique sound that's a compelling blend of retro and modern.

According to the musical society, she is “an artistic triumph, and ‘a musician at the top of her game, vocally, intellectually and spiritually’ according to the director of the Smithsonian Institute National Museum of the American Indian; and Village Voice declares Redbone is ‘poised to be Americana's superstar.’”

In her latest album, “Garden of Love,” Redbone navigates the musical boundaries between audaciously avant-garde and old-time folk, delivering a highly creative collection by a woman who charts her own artistic path.

Local middle school students can join the fun of singing “mountain hollers” and listen to selections from native Cherokee and Choctaw lyrical traditions at a special free presentation by Redbone at 11 a.m. on Feb. 1.

After Hurricanes Katrina and Rita ravaged the communities of the United Houma Nation on the Gulf Coast, she single-handedly helped generate publicity that raised over $30,000.

Currently, she is the indigenous affairs consultant and creative advisor to the Man Up Campaign, the new global youth movement to eradicate violence against women and girls.
